Movie Reviews of Cahill - United States Marshal
Movie Review: Western with plenty of parental advice
Summary: 4 Stars
Cahill is a somewhat different Western than most of John Wayne's film. Cahill tries to tackle a pretty serious topic - what happens when a father is not involved in raising his boys. Pretty heavy stuff for a Western. In this case - the film does a decent job pulling it off. Because of his neglect, or perhaps inspired by it, Cahill's sons participate in a bank robbery. The Duke spends the rest of the movie trying to find the culprits.
There are some good action scenes in the film, and George Kennedy is excellent as the main bad guy. If you like John Wayne movies with a somewhat serious theme, then you will enjoy this one. It reminds a little bit of the Cowboys.
Summary of Cahill - United States Marshal
Lawman J.D. Cahill can stand alone against a bad-guy army. But as a widower father, he's on insecure footing raising two sons. Particularly when he suspects his boys are involved in a bank robbery - and two killings. Filmed on location in the high desert of Durango, New Mexico, Cahill: United States Marshal offers a hearty helping of the stoic charisma that made John Wayne a lomg-time box-office champion. Summer of '42 discovery Gary Grimes - as Cahill's rebelllious older son - joins a cast of tough-guy favorites (Neville Brand, Denver Pyle, Harry Carey Jr. and George Kennedy) and such other Hollywood greats as Marie Windsor and Jackie Coogan in a deft blend of trigger-fast action and heroic sentiment.After the late-career high of True Grit, only The Cowboys and The Shootist escaped the curse of half-baked scripts, recycled material, and lackadaisical filmmaking that characterized John Wayne's last half-dozen years in movies. Cahill is no exception, but it's more energetic than The Undefeated and Chisum (likewise nominally directed by Andrew V. McLaglen), with a certain Gothic tinge. Also, the theme of a dedicated professional who lets his job keep him from being part of his children's lives appears to have had some relevance for the producer-star. Marshal Cahill's two sons (Summer of '42's Gary Grimes and the preteen Clay O'Brien) are so unhinged by paternal "negligence" that they get caught up in a twisted bank-robbery scheme with a very bad guy, a veritable bogeyman (George Kennedy). Cahill has to sort his familial crisis and several outlaw crews, with the assistance of a sardonic half-breed scout (Neville Brand) who teases him mightily. --Richard T. Jameson
